  With crude prices surging past one hundred dollars a barrel this week, the real story isn't just about OPEC cuts or Fed rate hikes. It is about where that oil is actually coming from.

Lucas and Luna explore how bottlenecks in maritime logistics and rising freight costs are embedding persistent price pressures into the consumer basket. They examine the disconnect between falling headline CPI and the stubbornly high cost of moving goods, using recent oil price spikes and shipping data to show why supply chain resilience has become the ultimate macro hedge. #SupplyChainFragility #GlobalLogistics #InflationResilience #FreightCosts #MaritimeTrade #Macroeconomics #ConsumerPrices #OilPriceShock #USDIndex #GeopoliticsAndMarkets #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsDaily #FexingoBusiness #LucasAndLuna #TradeBalance #ShippingBottlenecks #EconomicResilience #MarketAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  The Silent Cost of Geopolitical Sanctions on Global Trade 06.09.2026 9мин

  Sanctions are often viewed as political weapons, but their true impact is economic friction. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how secondary sanctions and compliance costs are reshaping global supply chains, particularly in energy and shipping.

This isn't just about politics; it's about the hidden tax on commerce that every business leader needs to understand. #Geopolitics #GlobalTrade #Sanctions #SupplyChain #EnergyMarkets #Economics #InternationalBusiness #ComplianceCosts #OilPrices #USDollar #TradeDeficit #ShippingInsurance #IranNuclearDeal #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketAnalysis #FinancialStrategy #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  The Dollar's Silent War in Strait Hormuz 01.09.2026 11мин

  When U.S. strikes hit Iran after new shipping attacks, oil spiked but the dollar held firm, defying traditional safe-haven logic. Lucas and Luna dissect why the trade-weighted index hitting 118.7 reveals a deeper structural shift: global trade is no longer priced in dollars at the same volume, even as military conflict escalates. With crude up eight percent and the yen weakening past one hundred sixty, we explore how fragmented payment rails and bilateral currency swaps are quietly eroding the petrodollar’s enforcement power without a single headline about sanctions. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GeopoliticsAndMarkets #StraitOfHormuz #USDTIndex #PetrodollarDecline #OilPrices #CurrencyWars #IranSanctions #TradeBalance #EmergingMarkets #GlobalSupplyChains #BilateralSwaps #EnergySecurity #DollarDominance #EconomicsExplained #MarketAnalysis #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
